An interesting anecdote in “Dare to change: An alternative vision for Singapore” by Chee Soon Juan.
I discuss what I have learned of Singaporean values with a local journalist. “What is the ‘national interest’?” I ask.
“Peace, happiness, you know. That sort of thing.”
“How do you find it?”
“Shopping,” she reveals, lighting another Winston. “I like shopping.”
